President Barack Obama on Friday rejected a critical part of the House Republicans’ latest proposal to extend the federal debt ceiling, which linked a short-term increase to further negotiations on the budget, White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
“It is our view that we cannot have a situation where the debt ceiling is extended as part of a budget negotiation process for only six weeks, which would put us right back in the same position that we’re in now,” Carney told reporters in a briefing at the White House.
“A proposal that puts a debt-ceiling increase at only six weeks, tied to budget negotiations, would put us right back where we are today in just six weeks, on the verge of Thanksgiving and the obviously important shopping season leading up to the holidays,” he said. “And that would create enormous uncertainty for our economy.” …

Well, how about POS. You gonna negotiate or not? What a moron.
It sounds as though the eGOOBs didn’t lick hard enough today.
I would be perfectly willing to give him 6 months provided we have guarantees that no gun control or immigration reform bills come up between now and then. that’s just me though.
LOL!
just send paul ryan over there and tell him to bend over again...he has no problem doing that ...AMNESTY WHORE POS
I’m thinking a good solid bitch slap would have snapped him out of his messiah complex.
Barry will hold out and the GOP will capitulate completely.
THAT is a guarantee .
.
I think I see what Obama’s endgame is.
He’s trying to force Boehner into passing legislation by suspending the ‘Hastert Rule’, specifically, a ‘clean’ continuing resolution/debt ceiling hike.
If Obama can force that, it’s game over for Boehner and the GOP leadership once and for all.
PS:
When GOP capitulates 100% watch the base stay home in the mid-terms and the RINOs lose the House.
Lucy.....football..
I'm so sick of these liars.
As most here know, there is no danger of default. Carney, just like his boss and most of DC and the media that covers them, is a liar.
They are all liars. And they control our lives and they are fixing to control our children's lives.
WE have TEA PARTY candidates, by the millions...to replace the RINO’s, American Citizens loyal to the Constitution all.
Drudge headline says Obama wants fully funded Obamacare, raise the debt ceiling, reopen the Gov’t and eliminate the sequester cuts. I guess he thinks the Pubbies will capitulate. I’m sick.
LOL. Or didn’t bend over far enough.
Yep. It’s like death and taxes.
When Reagan took office in 1981, the sentiment about the USSR was that it was the inexorable expression of the will of history. It had to be dealt with as a natural fact. Reagan had another view - “We win, they lose.” He stood up to the Soviets on all levels and faced them down. I figure that Congress, with just ten percent of Reagan’s resolve, could face down the community organizer/agitator.
A six week extension is a whole lot better for him than none.
It’s all the Republican House members are willing to give him, and if the Senate Republicans don’t ride to his rescue Saturday it’s all he’s gonna get.

I don't say that Boehner is a bad person, but he's inept beyond inept, and (as nearly as I can tell) he can't think one move ahead, and he doesn't care for preparation or homework. (Corrections invited)
IIRC, we got the sequester-based screwing of our military thanks to Mister Boehner's inabilities; and there was never any reason to think that HE could think any more clearly in a second term as SOH.
I welcome challenges to my opinion (even if your name is Boehner).
